Wind and Chrysanthemum

John Gould Fletcher

Chrysanthemums bending Before the wind. Chrysanthemums wavering In the black choked grasses.

The wind frowns at them, He tears off a green and orange stalk of broken chrysanthemum. The chrysanthemums spread their flattered heads, And scurry off before the wind.
